وَصاحِب أَتيتَه زِيارَةً

وَصاحِب أَتيتَه زِيارَةً

فَقَالَ لي وِاِهتَزَّ مِنّي وَاِضطَرَب

فَقَالَ لي وِاِهتَزَّ مِنّي وَاِضطَرَب

And a friend—I came to visit him;

When I visited a friend,

he said to me, trembling at my presence and agitated:

He shook and trembled anxiously.

هَل مِن مرادٍ صاحِبي قلتُ لَهُ

هَل مِن مرادٍ صاحِبي قلتُ لَهُ

طَبخ على رَأسِك صاحِبي اِنقَلَب

طَبخ على رَأسِك صاحِبي اِنقَلَب

“Have you any wish, my friend?” I said to him:

I asked what was his wish, my friend?

“May a dish topple onto your head, my friend!”

He snapped at me, my friend flipped out.
